Working Warriors: Military Life Beyond Combat

press release: 

Working Warriors: Military Life Beyond Combat, a traveling exhibit from the Wisconsin Veterans Museum, will be on display at the Verona Public Library from September 7 through October 6.

Working Warriors highlights the everyday life of service men and women. About 75% of military work is considered non-combat. These roles rarely make the headlines, but are vital to every military operation. Exploring the non-combat roles of military service personnel, including work as beauticians, military police, dentists, mechanics, and photographers, this exhibit showcases an often overlooked but highly relatable side of military life.

This exhibit is provided courtesy of the Wisconsin Veterans Museum and is funded in part by the Wisconsin Humanities Council with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Wisconsin Humanities Council is honored to provide this exhibit as part of its Working Lives Project. Go to www.wisconsinhumanities.org for more details.

This exhibit is free and open to the public.  For information, visit  www.veronapubliclibrary.org, or call 608-845-7180.  The Verona Public Library is located at 500 Silent Street.
